Fun Felt Table Runners

Bright strips of felt become a festive table runner. From one color of felt, cut two strips 5 inches wide and long enough to allow a 12-inch overhang on each end of your table. Using a different color of felt, cut two more strips 5 inches wide with a 14-inch overhang. Cut pointed ends on each runner. Computer-print "Noel" in a font of your choice; use as a template to cut two sets of letters from an accent color of felt. Glue letters onto the runners.
